Linus Torvalds 49d5759268 ARM:
- Provide a virtual cache topology to the guest to avoid
   inconsistencies with migration on heterogenous systems. Non secure
   software has no practical need to traverse the caches by set/way in
   the first place.
 
 - Add support for taking stage-2 access faults in parallel. This was an
   accidental omission in the original parallel faults implementation,
   but should provide a marginal improvement to machines w/o FEAT_HAFDBS
   (such as hardware from the fruit company).
 
 - A preamble to adding support for nested virtualization to KVM,
   including vEL2 register state, rudimentary nested exception handling
   and masking unsupported features for nested guests.
 
 - Fixes to the PSCI relay that avoid an unexpected host SVE trap when
   resuming a CPU when running pKVM.
 
 - VGIC maintenance interrupt support for the AIC
 
 - Improvements to the arch timer emulation, primarily aimed at reducing
   the trap overhead of running nested.
 
 - Add CONFIG_USERFAULTFD to the KVM selftests config fragment in the
   interest of CI systems.
 
 - Avoid VM-wide stop-the-world operations when a vCPU accesses its own
   redistributor.
 
 - Serialize when toggling CPACR_EL1.SMEN to avoid unexpected exceptions
   in the host.
 
 - Aesthetic and comment/kerneldoc fixes
 
 - Drop the vestiges of the old Columbia mailing list and add [Oliver]
   as co-maintainer
 
 This also drags in arm64's 'for-next/sme2' branch, because both it and
 the PSCI relay changes touch the EL2 initialization code.
 
 RISC-V:
 
 - Fix wrong usage of PGDIR_SIZE instead of PUD_SIZE
 
 - Correctly place the guest in S-mode after redirecting a trap to the guest
 
 - Redirect illegal instruction traps to guest
 
 - SBI PMU support for guest
 
 s390:
 
 - Two patches sorting out confusion between virtual and physical
   addresses, which currently are the same on s390.
 
 - A new ioctl that performs cmpxchg on guest memory
 
 - A few fixes
 
 x86:
 
 - Change tdp_mmu to a read-only parameter
 
 - Separate TDP and shadow MMU page fault paths
 
 - Enable Hyper-V invariant TSC control
 
 - Fix a variety of APICv and AVIC bugs, some of them real-world,
   some of them affecting architecurally legal but unlikely to
   happen in practice
 
 - Mark APIC timer as expired if its in one-shot mode and the count
   underflows while the vCPU task was being migrated
 
 - Advertise support for Intel's new fast REP string features
 
 - Fix a double-shootdown issue in the emergency reboot code
 
 - Ensure GIF=1 and disable SVM during an emergency reboot, i.e. give SVM
   similar treatment to VMX
 
 - Update Xen's TSC info CPUID sub-leaves as appropriate
 
 - Add support for Hyper-V's extended hypercalls, where "support" at this
   point is just forwarding the hypercalls to userspace
 
 - Clean up the kvm->lock vs. kvm->srcu sequences when updating the PMU and
   MSR filters
 
 - One-off fixes and cleanups
 
 - Fix and cleanup the range-based TLB flushing code, used when KVM is
   running on Hyper-V
 
 - Add support for filtering PMU events using a mask.  If userspace
   wants to restrict heavily what events the guest can use, it can now
   do so without needing an absurd number of filter entries
 
 - Clean up KVM's handling of "PMU MSRs to save", especially when vPMU
   support is disabled
 
 - Add PEBS support for Intel Sapphire Rapids
 
 - Fix a mostly benign overflow bug in SEV's send|receive_update_data()
 
 - Move several SVM-specific flags into vcpu_svm
 
 x86 Intel:
 
 - Handle NMI VM-Exits before leaving the noinstr region
 
 - A few trivial cleanups in the VM-Enter flows
 
 - Stop enabling VMFUNC for L1 purely to document that KVM doesn't support
   EPTP switching (or any other VM function) for L1
 
 - Fix a crash when using eVMCS's enlighted MSR bitmaps
 
 Generic:
 
 - Clean up the hardware enable and initialization flow, which was
   scattered around multiple arch-specific hooks.  Instead, just
   let the arch code call into generic code.  Both x86 and ARM should
   benefit from not having to fight common KVM code's notion of how
   to do initialization.
 
 - Account allocations in generic kvm_arch_alloc_vm()
 
 - Fix a memory leak if coalesced MMIO unregistration fails
 
 selftests:
 
 - On x86, cache the CPU vendor (AMD vs. Intel) and use the info to emit
   the correct hypercall instruction instead of relying on KVM to patch
   in VMMCALL
 
 - Use TAP interface for kvm_binary_stats_test and tsc_msrs_test
